19A - Idea Napkin No. 2

1. I am a journalism major with boundless creativity and well-developed social skills. I know how to effectively communicate in writing and spoken word. I think this helps me keep in touch with consumers/the people I am helping. I aspire to help people in daily life through my innovation. This business could be the venture that takes over all aspects of my professional life.
2. I am offering radiators that turn on and off using highly sensitive motion detection technology. The radiators would sense people in the room and quickly warm it up. It will turn off abruptly when people leave.
3. This product is meant for people who live in cold places and have a use for this product. People who live in the south and rarely use heat or maybe don’t even have radiators have no use for this house. These customers are people who own their homes and properties. They have a reason to invest in a product that would lower their utilities bills and save them money in the long run.
4. They care mainly because their utilities bills will go down. They will be maximizing their use of all the heating and electricity they are paying for. This will be very helpful in the colder months when heat is a large expense. Additionally, the radiator will be hyper efficient in saving energy, so it will be better for the environment.
5. My main core competency in this project is that I can closely relate to the issue of being bothered by turning a radiator off and on and suffering the consequence of a high utility bill at the end of the month. By being so close to the problem, this makes me a good person to attempt to solve the issue at hand because it will improve my life as well.

I believe these elements fit together very well. The skills I possess are needed for an entrepreneur no matter what the product or service is. The element of customer outreach and receiving feedback is very important in formulating a good business idea. I can be successful in this aspect. The only part I am really lacking is the technological background to be able to actually develop the product.

My comments said that I am a good person for this project because it is obvious that I care about it. They noted how I am closely connected to the problem and the product at hand. I used this feedback to reflect even further on why I want this product to become a reality. I incorporated that into the napkin.
